Fireworks Restrictions

On June 16, 2016 the Kaysville City Council passed an ordinance prohibiting the discharge of fireworks within specified areas of Kaysville City effective immediately. Kaysville Ordinance 7-4-5 (PDF)

These prohibited locations, designated as “High Fire Hazard Areas,” are highlighted in yellow on the map (PDF). Discharge of fireworks of any type within these High Fire Hazard Areas is a violation of this ordinance and a Class B Misdemeanor.

Fireworks Safety

Here are a few safety tips from the National Council on Fireworks Safety

Use fireworks outdoors only.

Obey local laws. If fireworks are not legal where you live, do not use them!

Always have water handy (a hose or buckets of water).

Only use fireworks as intended. DO NOT try to alter them or combine them.

Never re-light a “dud” firework (wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water).

Use common sense when using fireworks. Spectators should keep a safe distance from the fireworks. The person lighting the fireworks should wear safety glasses.

Alcohol and fireworks do not mix! Have a “designated” person light fireworks.

Only persons over age 12 should be allowed to handle sparklers of any type.

DO NOT ever use homemade fireworks or illegal explosives; they can kill! Report illegal explosives to the fire or police department in your community.
